When it comes to ground beef, among the most versatile and beloved of ingredients, itâs not all about meatballs and burgers and chili. Psh, who are we kidding, yes it is! Few things excite us more than a couple of pounds of fresh 80/20 chuck, straight from the butcherâs loving meat-grinder, ready for our bidding.
When oceanic and oceanic plates diverge it creates mid ocean ridges!
Large convection currents in the aesthenosphere transfer heat to the surface, where plumes of less dense magma break apart the plates at the spreading centers, creating divergent plate boundaries. As the plates move away from the spreading centers, they cool, and the higher density basalt rocks that make up ocean crust get consumed at the ocean trenches/subduction zones.
